The
pottery of Tamba, known as “Tambayaki,” has an elegant simplicity and
understated beauty resonating from its calm simple lines. The hues of
Tambayaki are drawn from the iron bearing clay by the flames of
traditional Anagama and the Noborigama (kilns). The colors range from
stunning reds, to earthen oranges and browns, and even dark sooty black.
The melted ash that settles on the pottery in the process adds a glassy
green highlight to the work.
